The ruling on holding Islam responsible for the incidents of some youth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This question says: Honorable Shaykh, we observe that some media outlets are trying to hold Islam and the Islamic awakening that this country enjoys responsible for what happened. They are trying to exploit these incidents to attack the preachers, scholars, and charitable institutions in this country. What is your opinion, Shaykh?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Al-An'am 6:164] So we do not hold the innocent responsible for the crime of the criminal. This is not permissible. But we warn against division, we warn against disagreement, we command the unification of the word, and we command sticking to the Muslims and sticking to the group of the Muslims and their imams. We warn against partisanship, as I mentioned to you, and against fragmentation. We have been warning against this for a long time, and we feared what has happened. Perhaps what has happened will serve as a lesson.
A lesson for the youth so that they return to the right path, abandon divisions, disagreements, and conflicts, and adhere to one path, which is the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community in creed, in morals, in worship, in transactions, in conduct, and in everything. Yes.
